Daniel Huber, Université de Genève, will present a talk on "Cortical circuits involved in voluntary action".

Abstract:
"We will present how he uses closed-loop optical brain–machine interfaces combined with single-cell optogenetic manipulations to interrogate the cortical circuits underlying goal-directed action. Using two-photon population recordings, we find that cortical activity preferentially encodes behavioral goals rather than detailed kinematic parameters, and that this representation is strongly driven by thalamic input. Together, these findings suggest that cortical activity primarily serves to guide action direction and intent, rather than to issue direct motor commands."
